Council tax band

Hi I wonder if anyone has any advice.

When I moved into my house in 2013, I had a letter saying that my council tax band was increased due to improvement works on the property by the previous owner- double extension and attic making it a 5 bedroom. I’m a band F, and all of my neighbours are band D or E.

 I vaguely remember getting a letter asking me to provide evidence if I disputed it but I didn’t think much of it - until I saw Martin’s discussion about this. 

Is there anything I can do to challenge it now?

    You can ask for a band review, but you are going to need very compelling evidence to support your case to avoid getting a "computer says no" type response from the VOA
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
